Description

The Kennel Murder Case (Warner Brothers, 1933). Lobby Card
Set of 8 (11" X 14"). Most consider this film the prototype for the
whodunit genre. The film stars William Powell, who was making his
fourth and last screen appearance as S. S. Van Dine's dilettante
detective, Philo Vance. Powell's performance along with Michael
Curtiz's fast-paced and imaginative direction, make this film a
benchmark for all the Golden Age murder mysteries that followed.
Most of the cards have several pinholes in the graphics, some
smudge marks, and a few corner creases. The card that shows Powell
peering at a corpse under a sheet has several rust stains in the
upper border. Overall the cards are in nice condition and display
well. Fine+.
